| The first book of Preludes was composed between 1909-1910, with second book following 1911-1912. Placed at the end of each work rather than the beginning, the titles help illuminate the composer’s imaginary universe. Among the primary themes in Debussy’s art are water, fog, landscapes, the sky, the world of fairies, exoticism, and Anglo-Saxon humour! A rising star in Paris, 28 year old American pianist Ivan Ilić is gaining international recognition. Ilić’s playing is often broadcast on television and radio in the United Kingdom, Ireland, America, France and Serbia. |
